Titans Maintain Reign of Dominance over Cobras

Little more than two weeks after the National
Challenge Trophy triumph the Swansea Titans were back on the gridiron. This
time it was for Varsity and their fixture against the Cardiff Cobras.

In fact, the Cobras last game was way back in
February against the Titans. The score in the regular season ended 30-0. There
were no doubts over who were the favorites. However, the Cobras powerful
defense matched up well against the skillful Swansea offense, which gave the
home side some hope of keeping the game close.

The game began with an electrifying kick return from
Swansea’s star playmaker Marcus Wyatt. Wyatt was in the game again as Captain
and Quarterback Simon George connected with the wide receiver on an 18-yard
pass, which Wyatt took up the sideline and into the endzone for the game’s
first score. The Titan’s defense quickly shutout the lackluster Cardiff offense
and got Wyatt and company back on the field.

Rookie running back Jacob Amadi burst through the line
for a big gain, which resulted in a Swansea field goal and stout defense from
Swansea gave them a chance before half-time. Wide receiver Ayekhele Loek Okomilo
snaffled another pass in the endzone to put the Titans up 15-0 at the half.

Going into the second half the story was much the
same. The Cobras big front seven was shutting down the Titans running game but
their passing game was going nicely. On the other side of the ball Swansea
continued to dominate Cardiff who just could not move the ball. Two more
touchdowns in the second half came, one more reception for Wyatt and a rushing
touchdown for the quarterback saw the score bump up to 27-0.

The Titans then won their Varsity for the second
year in a row to cap off an exceptional year. The team got its just rewards as
it won Swansea University’s Sports Team of the Year award, which was a
particularly special moment for influential head coach Nick Keyse. Keyse set up
the club as a student and it would appear to be a fine reward for a man who has
put so much time into Swansea University sports.
